The mission returned samples to Earth from Apollo Basin on the far side of the Moon. [19] [20] It also carried a Chinese rover called Jinchan to conduct infrared spectroscopy of lunar surface and imaged Chang'e 6 lander on lunar surface. [21] Chang'e 7, expected to launch in 2026, is a mission that will explore the south pole for resources. The ...
Chang'e 4 (/ tʃ ɑː ŋ ˈ ə /; Chinese: 嫦娥四号; pinyin: Cháng'é Sìhào; lit. 'Chang'e No. 4') is a robotic spacecraft mission in the Chinese Lunar Exploration Program of the CNSA. It made a soft landing on the far side of the Moon, the first spacecraft to do so, on 3 January 2019. [12] [13]
The space program of the People's Republic of China is about the activities in outer space conducted and directed by the People's Republic of China.The roots of the Chinese space program trace back to the 1950s, when, with the help of the newly allied Soviet Union, China began development of its first ballistic missile and rocket programs in response to the perceived American (and, later ...
